Active participation of the Hebrew Union College(##)wish Institute of Religion in plans to supply U.S. armed forces with chaplains was announced today by Dr. Nelson Glueck, president of the institution. “In the last (##)ar,” Dr. Glueck told the board of governors of the seminary, “the Liberal movement (##)urnished about one-half of the entire Jewish Chaplains Corps. Our graduates will un(##)oubtedly meet their full responsibilities again. If our armed forces remain at a (##)igh level, it may well be that our men may be asked to enter the armed forces as (##)haplains for a period of several years.”
The board approved plans for a nationwide combined campaign in behalf of the College-Institute and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Dr. Samuel S. Hol(##)ender, general chairman of the drive, in a report to the meeting, stated that the campaign to be launched shortly in some 325 communities in the United States and Canada, will have a national goal of $1,875,000. He also reported an increase of (##)280,000 in funds raised last year over the previous year.
